However, rumors surrounding the unreleased Detox album which has been reportedly worked on since 2002 has grown to mythical levels and the legendary producer seemingly hinted at its possible release.
ESPN NBA reporter Chris Haynes reported on Dr. Dre and his longtime partner Jimmy Iovine taking in a practice session with the Golden State Warriors this week. When Haynes asked the Compton mogul what his plans for Detox were, the vague answer gave fans a little hope.
The last musical project Dr. Dre worked on in full was the for 2015’s Compton project, inspired by the N.W.A. biopic, Straight Outta Compton. Dre also lent his ear and production to Eminem’s latest LP, Revival.
